2/29/2020 | Return of Hoses & Hot Rods

We came back, new and improved!! On a beautiful Leap Day Saturday, we held our 2nd car show - and we had around 170 cars, trucks, motorcycles, rat rods, sports cars, and more turn out for a great event.

Mike Kelly's Cruise News (Vol 26 Issue 314) recently printed an article about our 2020 event.

5/12/2018 | First Hoses & Hot Rods Show

The 1st show was held on May 12, 2018 at Gemini Springs Park, DeBary Florida. Thank you to every car owner, vendor, and volunteer who made our first ever car show a success!

Featuring classic and muscle cars, as well as an assortment of emergency vehicles from Orange City Fire Department and the Volusia County Sheriffs Office. We saw demonstrations by the OCFD Fire Cadets - you gotta see what these High School Students can do with heavy tools!! The Free "Kids Zone" kept the little ones entertained, and the visitors enjoyed the vendor area.

Here are some links to some albums from other agencies:
